Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    valve adjustment h22

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=P7wI4EtZSaA#!
    i pulled that link off of the sticky in the above link, had a few questions pertaining to my h22. Do i have to do use between the nut and retainer or can i slide the feeler gauge between the cam and rocker arm? Also i have a chilton(i know get a hayns(sp?)) and it says to adjust them at tdc then move it 90 degrees and so on. In the video he does the exact opposite of the lobe so the lobe would be pointing strait up vs pointing a little of center like it does when it is on tdc.
    which is the correct way?
    also any tips for doing it on the h22 would be helpful.

      well i happened to dig up this thread
      http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=3032700
      it seems more like the set screw and spring SEEMS to be a better place to measure it cause as a guy said the cam MIGHT have a weird wear mark or same with the rockers, so im going to try that and see how it goes, i have done it twice under the cam lobe and that seemed to work fairly well

        I always measure from the rocker to the cam lobe.

            If the valvetrain is "really loud", I wouldn't drive it. Do the adjustment to avoid any possible damage. Also, if the valvetrain is loud, your valves are not opening all the way and you are losing power. It is probably rich because it can't get enough air into the cylinder since the valve is opening late, less then it should and closing early.

              yea i decided to go with under the cam.. it is so much easier, it is very difficult to get under the adjuster..
              just for a terrible story, one valve adjuster wasnt moving. So in turn "hey ill just take the nut all the way off", then the nut fell into the oil valley right there by the side of the spring. So i took off the oil pan, and a no go. So i tried shoving a metal coat hanger through it and nothing. Tried again and the nut fell through... long story short. 5 hours later i have 4 valves adjusted(this is not typical).
              and the adjuster ended up moving i just needed to tighten the nut down all the way then loosen it again. in for dinner.. then back out

                Just keep at it. The end justifies the work.

                  well got everything done sounds sooooo much better, seems to even make a little bit better power down low. but to the person(i think it was SOHCFTW, or someone) when i posted about my vtec not working and he said re-do the valves... you were very so much right. It sounds 10x better now. i would recommend this to anyone if you have valve noise.
